The Nexus 6 is the next major launch in the smartphone world. The device has been the focus of the media for quite some time now, but everything will end this month after Google officially unveils its next flagship smartphone.

But the Nexus 6 won’t be the only important product launched by Google this month. Given previous experience, we expect the company to release the next version of its mobile platform, which is known as Android L for the moment. However, Google is likely to launch the market version of the Android L under a different name that will probably start with the same letter (“L”), but for the time being it’s unclear what sweets Google chose to name their new OS after. Nevertheless, it’s absolutely clear that Nexus 6 and Android L will be officially launched on the market at the same time. What we don’t know is exactly when Google plans to announce both products. We know it will be this month, but for now Google only confirmed an event for tomorrow where the search giant is expect to announce the Nexus 9, a new tablet made by HTC.

While there’s a slim chance that Google may introduce the Nexus 6 and Android L during the same event, we believe both products will be unveiled at a separate event that will probably take place at the end of this month. Just before a major launch, we usually get a few leaks that offer us glimpses of what’s to come. They usually come in the form of pictures and sometime even videos.

The commercial confirms a bigger Nexus 6 will be launched this year

Today however, the folks over at AndroidPolice report a video ad for Android with the slogan “Be Together, Not The Same” has just been leaked online. Obviously, the unreleased video is made by Google, but the good news is it shows the Nexus 6 and the Android L. What really stands out from the video is the fact that the Nexus 6 has been scaled up to emphasize the fact that it will be unusually bigger than the previous models. This points out to the fact that we will indeed have a much larger Nexus 6 this year, as Google most likely decided to enter the phablet market, which counts as almost 25% of the smartphone market worldwide.

According to the latest hearsay, the Nexus 6 should pack a huge 5.9-inch display with QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) resolution, a 2.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, an Adreno 440 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM. We will keep an eye out for more details on the upcoming Nexus 6 and Android L announcements, so stay tuned for additional info on the matter.
